About Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (kcal(th)/(h·cm²·°C)) equals ≈ 11622 W/(m²·K) (= 10⁴ × kcal(th)/(h·m²·°C)). A high-flux CGS metric unit found in older combustion engineering, industrial furnace design, and metallurgical heat treating references. 1 kcal(th)/(h·cm²·°C) ≈ 11622 W/(m²·K).
About Watt per square metre kelvin
The watt per square metre kelvin (W/(m²·K)) is the SI coherent unit for heat transfer coefficient (ISO 80000-5). Typical values: free convection in still air 2-25 W/(m²·K), forced-air cooling 25-250 W/(m²·K), natural water convection 200-1000 W/(m²·K), forced water up to 10 000 W/(m²·K), nucleate boiling up to 100 000 W/(m²·K). 1 W/(m²·K) = 1 J/(s·m²·K).
